EXPRESS COMPANIES OUT
THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE. LAW
NOT TO BE APPLIED.

A Formal Decision on the Question
Rendered by the Commissioners
The Law as 1t Stands Applicable to
Companies Run by Railroads, but
not to Those Run Independently.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2s--The formal de-
cision of the Interstate Commerce Commis.
sion upon the question whether express
companies are subject to the provisions of
the act to regulate commerce, was an
nounced to-day. The bringing of express
companies within the provisions of the act
is found to be practicable, and on some ac-
counts desirable. Express companies, wh ;ch
are simply branches of a railroad
organized and operating through its
ordinary staff, or by an independent
bureau, or by combination with other rail-
road companies, are found to be covered by
the provisions of the act.
INDEPENDENT COMPANIES
In the case of Independently organized
express companies, however, operating un-
der contracts for transportation, the Ian
guage of the act, as it now stands, is found
to be SO framed as not to bring
them directly within its provisions.
The words ''wholly by railroad, in the first
section, do not well define the business of
express companies, which use very largely
the services of teams, messengers, stage
coaches and steamboats,. The pooling sec
ton applies to the pooling of the business of
railroads. Other sections speak of railroads
continually and of depots and stations, the
language not being applicable TO the bust
ness of express companies, except under a
somewhat strained construction.
REFERRED TO CONGRESS-.
The express business was well known at
the time of the passage of the law, and has
been frequently mentioned by name in Con-
gressional statutes. The omission TO name
it here is significant. The preliminary in
vestigation by the Interstate Commerce
Committee of the Senate did
not include the business of express
companies, and was confined almost wholly
to that of railroad companies. Upon all
these considerations the commission has
thought best to refer the subject to Con
gresS, as in any case of doubtful jurisdic-
ton, it is far better that the legislative
body should resolve the doubt
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.--The Central Traffic
Association has authorized Commissioner
Blanchard to prepare amendments, to be
submitted to Congress, to amend the inter-
state act. A move is to be made to insert
provisions which will protect railroads from
fraudulent Misrepresentation of freight
shippers in regard to the classification of
commodities shipped, and to prevent the
sale of railroad tickets by any except di-
rectly authorized agents of the companies.

EDITOR LITTLETON DEAD.
A Sketch of His Editorial and Political
Career.


NASHVILLE, Dec. 2S.--John J. Little
ton, editor of the National Reuie,0. who
was shot by Joseph r. Banks last Saturday,
died at 2:30 this morning. Great hopes
were entertained for his recovery until last
evening, when he began to sink gradually.
Mr.. Littleton was not quite 20 years old.
At the age of 81 he began to practice law at
Kingston, but soon left the bar for journal
ism, his first venture being the founding OF
the Cyclone, "a Democratic weekly at
Kingston In 1882 he moved to Chattanooga
and started the Daily Democrat. There
he remained until 1885, when he came to
Nashville and established the National
ReuieW as the Republican organ of the
State. In politics he remained Democrat
until 1884. He left the Democratic Conven-
tion that year when the 6ftyxthird
plank on the State debt was adopted, and
announced that he was no longer a Demo
crat Since that time he has been an
extreme Republican. He was elected
to the Legislature from Davidson
of his death he was Secretary
and Treasurer of the Republican State Ex-
ecutive Committee, and Vice President
from Tennessee of the National Republican
Club. He was leader of the Blaine forces
IN Tennessee until the late New York cleo
tion, after which he espoused Sherman as
the most available nominee of his party for
President in 1885, Besides his wife he leaves
two children, both boys, the youngest only
four months old

A RIOT IN IRELAND.
Orangemen and Catholics Clash and
Belabor Each Other.

LONDON, Dec. 2s.--Mr. Corcoran, the
printer of the Cork Examiner has been ar
rested on charge of publishing in that
paper reports of meetings of proclaimed
branches of the national league.
Mr.. Gladstone embarked upon a chan

CATHOLICS AND oRANGEMEN FIGHT.
DUBLIN, Dec 2S.-A desperate fight be-
tween Catholics and Orangemen occurred

were freely used. The house of priest
was completely wrecked and the windows of
other houses were smashed. The Orangemen

coming serious when police stopped the
tight. Several persons were arrested.
The order for a reduction of judicial
rents in ireland applies only TO the year
commencing on the sale day Immediately
before Aug. %, 1887.
CONSIDERED A BAD MOVE
LONDON, Dec %, 5 A. M.-The Daily
NeUs, commenting on the reduction of
judicial rents in Ireland, says that by one
stroke the government has offended all the
landlords and has done nothing to concilate
the tenants
The Morning Post says: ''The reduction
will have the effect of rendering property
in Ireland practically unsaleable. Those
tenants who have refused to buy their hold
ings under Mr.. Davitt's advice to await for
better terms are fully justified Doubtless
the present action will be followed by fur
ther reduction"
The Daily Chrontcle, without disapproy-
ing the reduction, hints that the landlords
ought to be compensated by the State.
The Dublin Express condemns the meas
ure as worse than anything that could be
accomplished under the plan of campaign.
The Nationalist papers complain of the re-
duction as totally Inadequate
John Dillon, member of Parliament,
speaking at New Ross said that the reduc-
tlon of judicial rents completely justified
the policy of the Nationalist and the plan
of campaign. 1t was true that Lord Sails
bury had said that the measure he now
adopted was Unionist measure, but that
only showed that Lord Salisbury and his
colleagues were quite ready to do that which
was dishonest in order to cling to Office

and that they are buying all the rifles and

feared that an outbreak will soon occur.
They have been informed that they are not
on their reservation, and that they are
breaking their pledges given last summer.
They say that they intend to hunt where
they can find game in plenty and that the
white men cannot hinder trem A number
of cattlemen have ordered their men to
shoot any and all Indians they may see on
their ranges, or anywhere out of the Utah

He VIII Bend Heaven and Earth to
Garry the Southern States.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator William
z. Chandler is preparing to make an effort
to carry several Southern States for the Re-
publican party next year. He has Louisi-
ana, Tennessee, Florida and Virginia esps-
cially in view. He will, however, take
charge of his party interests in every South
ern State, where there is even the stump of
Republican organization. He is already in
consultation with the managers of the Re-
publican party in Louisiana, who have a
strong organization as to the State election
in April. In accordance with his
views, they will nominate a straight
ticket for all the different officers from
Governor down. He thinks that this is the
best way to take advantage of the divisions
in the Democratic party. Senator Chand-
Ter will probably make a speech in the Sen
ate within the next six weeks on his bill to
regulate Southern elections, by way of
sounding the key note of his campaign. He
promises to surpass Senator Hear in the

McNEALLY'S ILL-GOTTEN GAINS.
Examiner Richards Explains the Banks
Attitude.

BOSTON, Dec. 2S.--A special to the Jour
nal from Portland, Me-, gives an interview
with Bank Examiner Richards concerning
the Saco and Biddeford Savings Institution
defalcaticn and Defaulter McNeally. The
examiner says the first offer of compromise
was received about Nov. 10 in letter from
Frank McNeally, dated at Cairo,
Egypt, in which he agreed to sur
render the bonds on receipt of
$4,000 in currency and an agreement
on the part Of the bank not to prosecute
him. This offer was rejected by the trustees
and letter was written in reply by Gen.
Cleaver, counsel for the bank, and sent to
McNeally by Treasurer Kelly. This letter
was non-committal in every respect, and in
tended to draw from N cNeally a further
proposition and lead to more satisfactory
results than now seems likely to be reached.
The subsequent correspondence between the
McNeallys has been pretty correctly pub
lished.
A VOLUNTARY EXHIBITION OF FOLLY.
The issuing of a power of attorney to
Harry McNeally to act on behalf of the
bank at Halifax, by Treasurer Kelly, was
characterized by the examiner as "a vol
untary exhibition of folly, performed gra-
tultously without any apparent motive"
Said he: "About three hours before Mr..
Kelly issued his commission to Harry
McNeally, President Goodale assured Judge
Cleaves. in my hearing, that the
bank had not and would not
authorize anybody to represent them in pro-
curing restitution from Frank Mr.. Rich
ards placed but little confidence in the
promised return of the stolen property, but
believed if the bank HAD followed the ad-
wise of counsel, McNeally would have sur
rendered tine bonds and thrown himself
upon the mercy of the court in preference
to starving in foreign lands. President
Goodale also denied the report that the
trustees have compromised, or intended to
compromise, felony with Frank Nc

CHICAGO, Dec 2S.-According to special
dispatches to the Daily Ne,US new scheme
has just developed in regard to the title to
No Mans Land. A telegram last night
from Tahlequah says that the National
Council has appointed committee TO press
the claim of the Cherokees to that part Of
the Indian Territory on the attention of
Congress. The claim is based on the treaties
of 1928 and $780, and the patent of 1929,
signed by President Van Buren,. 1t is al
legged that the title has never lapsed, and
that it is as clear as that which holds the
territory around Tahlequah.
